About the Program
Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Stockholm, Sweden is home to one of the best neuroscience research centers in Europe. NIH is the largest and best-equipped biomedical research facility in the world, with 20% of NIH s faculty describing themselves as neuroscientists. Thus, NIH is also the largest neuroscience research facility in the world. These two prestigious institutions seek 1) to encourage research collaborations between them, and 2) to train future leaders in neuroscience research. For these reasons, the joint program offers unparalleled opportunities for training and research to a very select group of accomplished and goal-directed students who are expected to emerge as future research leaders within neuroscience.
